waEner,s Manner of COMPOSING.

1t is impossible to speak with certainty
about Wagner's manner of composing.
He often laughed. heartily when telling
about some composer, whom he had
visited, and found with a long pipe in
his mouth engaged in completing a
symphony, and who had complacently
shown his composition, turning back
ward and forward among the pages and
crying out while designating certain PAS
sages: '.Here there is quiet; now it
grows angry; now it is becoming dra-
matte; here let loose thrnderbolt;
here we begin the down grade, and now
quiet again." the last word coming
through cloud of tobacco smoke. 1t is
not necessary to say that Wagner could
never compose in this manner. a glance
into his scores will disclose the exalted
seriousness with which he approached
his task and the superearthly regions in
which he scared when he created his
ideal characters. By the time that he
had written the poem of his drama
during the work on which, of course,
much of the music was originated
In his mind) he had already noted
down great number of the musical
thoughts upon loose pieces of music paper.
These notes he made in pencil and there
must be a vast number of them in exis-
tence which are being anxiously saved for
late posterity by Frau Cosima Wagner.
She has gradually gone over all of them
with ink, otherwise the majority of them
would have become illegible. Only few
can boast of having received one of these
little sketches as souvenirs or reward from
the master in some moment of peculiarly
good humor.
After considerable space had inter-
veped since the completion of the poem
and he had given himself wholly up to its
musical spirit, he was not to be seen in
his family circle until 3 O'Clock in the
afternoon. From o'clock in the morn
ing until Q in the afternoon he worked
almost without interruption; sometimes
esen longer. After dinner he rested, either
taking walk in the open air or attending
to his private correspondence. This lasted
until o'clock, when supper was eaten.
Then the whole family met in the music
room to pass the time till II or 10 O'Clock
with music alternating with conversation
and the reading of essays.-Herr Anton
Seide in New York Tribune.

War Relics.

The discussion over the rebel flags has re-
suited in several suggestions as to the best
method Of preserving these relics. Congress-
man Boutelle, in his Grafton at the unwilling
OF the soldiers monument at Lincoln. when
he said, mot in the dust of some obscure
attic or cellar in Washington, but, in accord
ance with benign law, must be displayed
to teach the lesson they so eloquently i'm
part, uttered a sentiment which seems to
be quite general among old veterans. 1t
has been proposed that, instead of burning
or destroying them, all the rebel flags and
other trophies Of the war be collected by the
government in great naval museum. 1t is
expected that modified form of this sug
gestlon viii be brought before the Grand
Army at the National Encampment AT st.
Louis. Instead of leaving the formation Of
the museum to the government the Grand
Army is to do it, according to this latest sug-
gestion. The several Grand Army Posts
have their muster rolls and other records,
together with an immense number of relies
or trophies which are very valuable. Tbera
are some six hundred Grand Army Posts,
with total membership of say 5000 men.
The average age Of the members is forty-six
years, and it is estimated that at the end of
the next fifteen years the number of Posts
will have materially diminished, owing to
natural causes. OF course within no very
great period the Grand Army, as now COM
posed, Will cease to exist. When this shall
happen the relics will be scattered, it is prob
able, unless some method of collecting and
preserving them is adopted. 1t has been es-
umated that the proceeds of two yearly sub
scriptlons OF one dollar each from the mem
peIs Oh the Grand Army would build and
suitably endow a memorial building in
Washington in which might best be be-
slowed ana preserved not only the records
ana Irophies Of the several Posts, but the
rebel flags and other trophies not in the GUS
tody Of the War and Navy Departments. II

Howard writes to the Boston Globe:
Among the most attractive figures of note
ON Broadway is that of Mrs. James G.
Blaine, Jr., concerning whose romantic mar
rage the papers printed many interesting
stories year ago. She is a little above me-
dunn height, with classic features, most at
tractive eyes, shapely head well filed with
brainy ideas, and vocabulary most unusu-
al. Naturally enough she is devoted to Pa
pa Blaine and his interests. She lives with
her husband, who, by the way is doing re-
markedly well in Wall street house, in the
Livingston flats on East nineteenth street.
whence in few days she goes East for her
summer rest. | don't know anything about
Mr.. Blaine, Jr., but If he is in any sense the
chief of the household he must be an unus-
ually gifted and desirable acquaintance. The
lady attracts universal attention, and is the
recipient of social courtesies of most extend
ed limit"
The Listener of the Boston Transcript
writes of one of the Paris circuses: "Al-
though you can go to many circuses in Paris
on the same terms as in this country. by
merely paying your admission at the door,
there is one circus you cannot enter for price.
That is the Cirque Molier. There the clowns
and acrobats, the daring trick riders, are
dukes and counts and marquises, and the
spectators are the cream of the Paris aristoc-
racy and invited guests. If you are a very
distinguished American, if you are acquaint-
ed In the high flight of the Paris world, as of
course you are, you will go to the Cirque
Molier. But you will say, Who takes the
part OF the daring horseman, she of whom
the clown is the despairing loyer?' Ali
there comes fine illustration of the democ-
racy OF talent The noble clowns, the ducal
rlng.-masters are easily obtained, but the pro-
fessional "equestrienne" as our circus post
ers sometime say, must be hired, and is
hired for the occasion. Then a laRoche-
toucald or Montmorency may be seen ten
dering a banner to Mile. Violat or Mile.
Nellie, and gets dashed by Montesquiea or
Polignac for his palms."
The Portland daily press., 1887-07-08

is thought that the rebel flags now in the
possession of the States might also be con-
fded to the same trusteeship.
Such memorial museum would become,
after the Grand Army has passed from the
earth, very valuable and interesting me-
mortal Of the men who fought for their
country, and of their deeds. And If it
should be erected and endowed by the veter-
ans themselves instead of by the general
government, it would be free from the OBJ
lection that it would tend to perpetuate Sec
tional diScord.
